*** Update *** Cookie Zombie has been very responsive and very apologetic and are doing their best to remedy the situation. They say that there was a tech issue on their side that prevented them from receiving my friend's text. It's still a bit odd that they never followed up, and they definitely need to work out their tech issues, but they are going above and beyond in their attempt to fix it (delivering it to her home, which is outside of their normal delivery range, and doubling the order). They were very responsive and had great communication with me once they learned of the whole situation, and made sure to get my friend's cookies to her according to her schedule. I appreciate that it was an honest mistake and that they did everything that they could to remedy it. That, and she said the cookies were great! *** Original Review *** (2 stars) I was super excited to surprise my friend by sending cookies to her office on her birthday as a surprise.. but had to ruin the surprise since Cookie Zombie called and texted not just me but also her before delivering... and then never delivered! She replied via text that she would be there all day... then sat in the office waiting for cookies that never came :( read more

Cookie Zombie has delicious cookies, and I love that their whole business concept revolves around late-night delivery or pick-up...it's rare to find freshly baked cookies in LA past 8 or 9 pm! You can call in or order online. Minimum order is a dozen, but you can choose up to 4 different flavors! I've only ever opted for the pick-up option at the liquor store in El Segundo (as they only deliver to a select number of zip codes), which is great if you want to pick up other goodies (milk, etc.). The cookie options seem to rotate with a number of staples that are always on the menu, and seasonal offerings as well - my favorite flavors have been their classic chocolate chip, and any of their oatmeal cookies. They're in business Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights! read more

I'm not sure if I can count this as a fair review since I personally haven't ordered from them personally. I was luckily and able to try their delicious treats when it was brought to work as a thank you. They have a home baked look meaning they don't look perfectly round or all the same size. They are soft baked cookies. Their chocolate chip cookies and Reese's pieces ones were really good. I like their delivery concept and from what I remember they are open late so if get those late night munchies for some sweets this is perfect. read more

Order over the phone, pick up at the liquor store. If you order a dozen and pay cash its $13 if you pay with a credit card it's $16. Carry around some cash for your own good and so you seem like a baller. I ordered three different types of cookies... cookies and cream, white chocolate macadamia nut, Fruity Pebbles. Best ones by far were the cookies and cream next time all 12 cookies are going to be cookies and cream. Order now they take about 15 to 20 minutes or have them delivered if you live in the South Bay. The lady over the phone was super nice and informative, she must be the owner. Enjoy the cookies and try to share... I ate almost all of them...10 to be exact within 24 hours... Nextday on scale: Gained 2 lbs... All muscle of course!! read more

What an adorable concept! Cookie Zombie provides late-night delivery for freshly baked cookies. The ever-changing menu includes classic, original, and seasonal recipes. Of the non-traditional flavors, I've loved Strawberries & Cream, Birthday Cake, and Red Velvet the most. I'm dying to try the Oatmeal Sunrise, an oatmeal cookie with dried cranberries and apricot pieces. As someone who bakes frequently myself, I'm critical of the quality of baked goods and have loved every type of cookie that I've tried from here. It's super simple to order online or over the phone. You may choose up to 4 flavors per dozen cookies ordered - they arrive in a cardboard pizza box. Since CZ is local to the El Segundo / South Bay area, delivery is very prompt and -- even better -- the cookies arrive still warm from the oven. You can add on a pint of Cool Haus ice cream for an even more indulgent treat! read more

WARNING.... BEWARE!!!! I ordered cookies from Cookie Zombie. What a HORRIBLE nightmare. 1) (part my fault) I ordered for a Saturday delivery between 4pm and 5:30. The cookies were for a party my 7 yr old was having. Cookie Zombies website allowed for the time of delivery I chose so I really didn't think anything of it. When it became 5:45pm and nothing was delivered, I emailed them and called. Finally at 7:30 I got a call back saying they did not start deliveries until 8 and I should have read their website but my order would be the first out. Okay.... I can take that as my mistake as well as their sites issue. BUT......... 2) When the cookies were finally delivered at 8:30pm The kids ran up took the box and started eating. (total kid behavior-hey it's cookies!!) Well on the inside of the box it read " Abra, sold out hope you like strawberries and cream" Why wouldn't you call me and ask me for a different flavor? Why wouldn't the delivery person say something? Why wouldn't you write it on the top of the box? UMMMM.... stop kids don't eat the cookies! I ordered cookies based on the kids that were at my house and their allergies. One kid was allergic to strawberries- that's why I didn't order them!! I called and emailed them the next day about this issue and asked to please make the order right or refund my money. Their response you should have called us that night and since you ate them too bad. ( actually we didn't eat them, we finally threw the strawberry ones away this morning. ) WHAT?? How about giving me what I ordered and paid for, that's all I am asking for. This company has horrible customer service!!! DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM or CAUTION IF YOU DO, YOU WONT GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR AND THEY DON'T CARE!!!! RESPONSE TO NATASHA: Note: no Natasha, after our conversation it seems silly to dig in the trash to pull out the cookies. Many of the posts about this situation on different sites made a good point, most asked/said " eeeew is she going to resell them" All you needed to do to begin with was to redo the order or refund the money. You could have seriously injured a child, that needs to be your concern. You took it upon yourself to NOT complete the order, to change the order or notify anyone of the change. You could have been liable for injuries. And all you want are old ARTIFICIAL cookies back. YELPERS: WARNING THIS COMPANY COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE YOUR FAMILY. THEY DO NOT TAKE ALLERGIES INTO CONSIDERATION AND THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR ORDER WITHOUT NOTIFYING YOU!!! read more

I feel horrible writing this but I'm hoping Natasha will see this and it'll help them out. I just picked up some cookies from Cookie Zombie and I immediately broke one of the cookies in half and it was completely raw. I recently had a kidney transplant so I'm not allowed to have anything that isn't completely cooked. I'm super bummed because I broke all the cookies in half and only one was cooked enough for my friend to eat but not me. Currently cooking them in the oven because these cookies are amazing and I can't give you guys one star because they're so good. I just don't want anyone to get sick Ps ordered chocolate chip, lemon drizzle, funfetti, and cookies and cream. Completely cooked cookies and cream and funfetti are so delicious read more

No other choice for food gift delivery in L.A. compares to Cookie Zombie! This place is the absolute bomb!!! I live in Florida and wanted to surprise my fiánce with some sort of edible gift while he was at a conference in L.A. I searched the Internet far and wide for gift baskets and sweet treats but found them all to be either too expensive, too cheesy, or too slow in terms of delivery time. But then, THANK GOD, I stumbled across Cookie Zombie and found I could send a dozen FRESH BAKED, unique cookies for only A DOLLAR A PIECE with an incredibly reasonable delivery fee and no extra charge to include a hand-written message. #BOOM!!! The customer service was OUTSTANDING- friendly, personable, and efficient in their communication both with me as the giver and my fiánce as the receiver. The kind employee I worked with even hooked me up with a faster than normal delivery! My fiánce (and 11 of his lucky friends) had nothing but great things to say about the cookies themselves! Thanks so much, Cookie Zombie, for making my gift delivery a success! :) read more

I e-mailed them in advance to ask if I could order 3 dozen cookies and pick them up on the Friday before Labor Day. They responded quickly and gave me a couple of options. We agreed on the Friday at 1:00 pm. They arrived at the pick-up location a few minutes early with piping hot cookies right out of the oven. You can't get any fresher than that. We tried 8 different cookies and the family loved them all with the Cookie and Cream cookies and the Le Royal as their two favorite cookies. I thought the cranrasin oatmeal and the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies tasted great (I'm partial to Oatmeal cookies). Overall, you can't go wrong with any of the cookies, great cookies that are very fresh. read more

I wasn't aware or I guess I didn't pay attention that this was a delivery only place. My husband and I showed up in El Segundo at 12 o'clock at night in front of a closed liquor store. We were totally confused. So once we called they told us we had to place an order and they would deliver it to us. So we stood out on Main Street and Holly for about 20 minutes with no business open near us and waited for our cookies. Then suddenly a delivery driver Appeared and handed us our a box of cookies. Then we hopped in an Uber and went back to our hotel. The cookies were great they were nice and warm. They were very thick and full which I like. I'm only giving them four stars because of the weird location that we were directed to. read more

I love the concept of Cookie Zombie! There are stores all around LA with artisanal ice cream or donuts, but not many out there with freshly baked artisanal cookies! Cookie Zombie is delivery only (or pick up at the liquor store). No hassle to drive out on those lazy nights when you have the munchies. I've ordered from them several times and my favorites are definitely the Cookies & Cream, Apple Oatmeal Caramel, and Funfetti. I also enjoy anything with butterscotch or toffee, but that's because I have a huge sweet tooth. You can't get these flavored cookies elsewhere which makes this business so special! What's also great is that these are made to order so that they are FRESH and WARM when they're delivered to your door. I don't eat all the cookies in one sitting though, so the next day, I just heat them up and they taste just as good! YUM :) read more

It's a peculiar thing to pick up cookies at a liquor store, but that's also what has me hooked (aside from the delicious cookies)! It's reminiscent of the days of prohibition and knowing the secret password. Beware there's a $3 charge if you don't bring cash, but they are generous if the cookies are small and you'll almost always get an extra cookie with your dozen. read more

This review is well over due. The first time I tried them for my gf's bday and they were nice enough to deliver to her work during the day even though it was out of their delivery zone. Cookies arrived on time, fresh out of the oven/still warm, and were delicious. Second time I had the driver meet me since I live in Torrance and it's slightly out of their zone.. no biggie. Got the Grandmas oatmeal, oatmeal choc chip, OMFG, and white choc macadamia nut. They even threw in 2 free funfetti cookies which was pretty cool of them. Every cookie is delicious but my favorites so far in order are: OMFG, White choc mac, and grandmas oatmeal.

My sister had recently joined Job Core in downtown LA and was spending her first birthday there alone and wasn't able to come home. She's only 16 years old and we're a large family of 8 kids. She was obviously sad and disappointed. I saw the giant cookie that this company makes and decided to surprise her on her birthday by sending flowers, balloons, and this cookie since I would be away in New York. I called and made the order for the day of her birthday with a delivery range where she'd be at lunch. It never came... They had called me that morning before I boarded my plane home and said that they called prior to see if rose would be able to receive the delivery. And that they were told rose didn't work there. That's because she doesn't. She's a student. I told them I had already called and asked the head security and they said it was okay. So I boarded my plane and expected to get a call or text when I arrive back in California. I didn't. I called and found out it never came. So... I called the next day and it was explained to me that they had never charged my card when I made the order a week or two prior. And just charged it that morning before deliveries. I had emptied that card, as it was my financial aid card and not my debit card. So it was declined. They finally sent it the next day... the day after her birthday... and my sister said it was hard like it was old and they DIDNT EVEN SPELL HER NAME CORRECTLY. Over the phone I describe the cookie I found with circle designs and said to put happy birthday Rose. They said okay. No problem. The cookie said happy birthday RUSE ?! Seriously. It makes me wonder if they did it in purpose because I called upset she didn't get it the right day. My sister said she took some pictures and showed it to people and then threw it away because it was old. I was so upset. I still am to be honest. These cookies are for special occasions like this... and they have this many issues. I will never order from them again read more

When the taiyaki comes out piping hot with crispy exterior and chewy inside with red bean, it's sooo good. I like their custard filling too. Probably best taiyaki I've had anywhere in southern Cal. I had stopped coming here for a while and when we came back, we noticed that the menu expanded a bit, and now they have some fruit based bingsoo. Recommend trying once.

I love their packaging, so stylish and I don't even need wrapping paper for this gift!

I saw this business online at first, and while I thought the candy was beautiful, the price was…read morecompletely out of my price range; it never occurred to me to place an order. Then the owner was at the Japanese garden for December Nights so I could see how nice the candy looks in person, she was offering a discount... and I placed an order. In recent years it feels like everyone I know has been placed on one special medical diet or another. It's so hard these days to find pre-prepared food that multiple people can enjoy, and when I do it usually isn't particularly impressive. These candies are dairy free, gluten free, sodium free, low in sugar, and beautifully packaged in a way that feels like you're really getting something special. The taste of these is mildly sweet and mildly flavored. The texture is the best part, with soft centers, firm exteriors, and fun crunchy "rock" bits: great contrasts. I'm not a big fan of Japanese sweets, but if you are, these are a prime example. But honestly? Mostly I'm grateful for having a special food to share with my loved ones.

Had a wonderful morning at Azucanela! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff made us feel…read morewelcome. Laura and Carol were especially warm, cheerful, and attentive, which made the experience even better. We ordered the chilaquiles and the breakfast sandwich, and both were fantastic. The chilaquiles were fresh and full of flavor with crispy tortilla chips topped with a rich green sauce, egg, cheese, and red onion. The breakfast sandwich was a generous portion on a warm brioche bun with thick bacon, egg, chipotle sauce, and fresh greens. We also tried the churros, which were clearly made fresh to order. They were not overly sweet, perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft inside. The horchata coffee was absolutely divine and something I would come back just for. Everything here is made fresh, and you can taste the difference. The outdoor seating area with music created such a joyful, relaxing atmosphere and made the whole morning feel special. I can't recommend this place enough!

Azucanela had been on my list for quite some time. I was finally able to visit with a friend from…read morework not long ago, and it was better than expected. Parking is very minimal. There are only a couple spots in the lot. It is very small, so you'll likely have to park on the street. The shop is nicely decorated, and very vibrant and colorful. They have a few swinging egg chairs you can sit in, which is a nice touch. The drinks & desserts are really good. I highly recommend coming here.

Sweet Rice is my #1 restaurant that I recommend to everyone to try!…read more Everything here tastes so good and since it's more of a "breakfast" spot, it has items on the menu that your typical Thai restaurant doesn't have. My go-to items are the Thai Omelette with Shrimp, Roast Duck Noodle Soup, Tom Yum noodle soup, and Cha Manao which is Thai Tea with Lime. Gardena has so many great restaurants and Sweet Rice is such a great addition to the community! The plaza that it's in has other yummy restaurants and boba/dessert as well.

I've been here a handful of times and I absolutely love their Khao Soi. It's so creamy, rich, and…read morefull of flavor I can never get enough of it. I usually get the beef option and it's perfect with the coconut curry broth, crunchy fried noodles, and fresh veggies all working together so well. I also love dining in because they offer a variety of spice options. There's even a little setup with jars of different chilies and spices so you can adjust the heat to your liking. My husband wanted something sweet so we shared the mango sticky rice and it was so addicting especially with warmer weather starting to roll in. It really feels like summer is on the way !!! On top of the food, the customer service is always so kind and attentive. 10/10 highly recommend!
